1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C and grease a tin. Beat 100 g of softened butter with 150 g of sugar until light and creamy.

   ⏱️ approx. 10 min

   💡 Tip: Creaming the butter thoroughly incorporates air and gives the cake a light texture. Softened butter whips up best.

2. 2

   Stir in 2 eggs one at a time, then gently fold in 200 g of flour mixed with 1 tsp of baking powder until a smooth batter forms.

   ⏱️ approx. 8 min

   💡 Tip: Adding the eggs one at a time prevents the mixture from curdling. Fold in the flour just until combined — overmixing will make the cake tough.

3. 3

   Lightly toss 150 g of blueberries in flour and gently fold them into the batter. Pour into the tin and bake for 35–40 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.

   ⏱️ approx. 40 min

   💡 Tip: Tossing the berries in flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom. If using frozen berries, fold them in straight from frozen so they don't bleed into the batter.
